Planned Parenthood of Idaho Apologizes for Targeting Black Babies

The nation's largest abortion provider has apologized for accepting racist donations.

Planned Parenthood of Idaho assured a caller that his donation would be used to abort black babies, the Idaho Statesman reported. It has since apologized.

The Advocate, a pro-life student magazine at the University of California-Los Angeles, hired an actor last summer to call Planned Parenthood posing as a donor who wanted his money used to abort black babies. Autumn Kersey, vice president of development and marketing for Planned Parenthood of Idaho, took the call and welcomed the donation.

Posted at 1:46pm on Feb. 29, 2008 CMU Vs. Dennis Lennox: The Chess Match Continues

By mike volpe

I once described this confrontation as a chess match and if it was, then the CMU admin would just have put Dennis Lennox in check, and now it is his move. There is a lot of metaphorical similarities between what is happening now and that great game and this latest move is just one example. Yesterday, the administration cancelled a scheduled disciplinary hearing against Lennox and announced that they would next schedule another disciplinary hearing behind closed doors and they wouldn't even invite Lennox to attend. (In other words, he couldn't even attend his own disciplinary hearing and defend himself)

Posted at 8:01pm on Feb. 18, 2008 Some (late) thoughts on Presidents' Day

By kdalton

President Lincoln:
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan - to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations."

Posted at 12:00pm on Feb. 7, 2008 Liveblogging the Vice President at CPAC

By Erick

The Vice President just started speaking. I'll be liveblogging his speech here.

Later today, Mitt Romney will speak and John McCain will speak. Also, the President will make an appearance -- his first ever.

The Vice President says that in this final year in office he and the President "are not going to waste the moment." He says the government is going to have to keep to its limits and mentions tax cuts.

"The President and I came to face challenges and face them squarely. This has required a lot of big decisions," he says. He also mentions inheriting an economy in recession. "Even with 9/11 we haven't gone through a recession since. Lower taxes are always good for this economy," he begins his pitch on the President's recovery plan.

The Vice President calls on Congress to make the Bush tax cuts permanent. He points out that all the tax cuts over the past eight years will go away unless Congress acts.

"Letting the Bush tax cuts expire will be one of the largest government money grabs in American history and we must not allow it to happen. . . . Congress will have to make some tough choices and maybe wind up with less money to spend on their own pet projects."

[NOTE: I give up the live blogging. The set up here is less than ideal. One tv at the end of a row and lots of people talking. Can't hear a damned thing.]

Posted at 7:23pm on Jan. 31, 2008 Facts from the debate last night.

By TexasJake

Cut and pasted from FactCheck.org

With a nationwide wave of nominating contests looming next week, Republican presidential candidates held their last scheduled debate against the backdrop of Ronald Reagan’s retired Air Force One. But we found some of the candidates' facts just won’t fly.

Romney complained that McCain used "the wrong data" about job creation to support his assertion that Massachusetts had ranked 47th among the 50 states while Romney was governor. Romney was wrong; McCain was correct.

Posted at 6:11pm on Jan. 27, 2008 Pelosi a Supply Sider? Yes, Tax Cuts Do Pay for Themselves

By mdetlh

When the announcement for a request for a stimulus package was made, it in effect requested a package that would be significant, enacted soon and temporary due to the pending increased entitlement spending that is needed soon. My theory is that the stock market sold off enough to coincide with the end of supply side guidance that has been in effect since President Reagan http://stockcharts.com/commentary/archives/cww20080120m.html

Posted at 8:52pm on Jan. 9, 2008 One of the greatest sounds

By SteveLA

I found the following video clip over on Black5, it's well worth the time to watch.

The clip features Robin Williams (bleeped heavily) and one of the sounds and sights that anyone who has ever served in uniform, or spent any time around any sort of military instillation will recall with the greatest of pride and fondest of memories.
